MARKET REPORT WEEK 39 BASED ON SALES AND PURCHASES OF VESSELS WEEK ENDED FRIDAY 1 ST OCTOBER 2010. The freight market made no really definitive moves last week whereby the BDI ended practically unchanged. The only overall gainer was the BCI by about 10% whilst the other indices all lost just a little each. We do not expect a huge week this week either with much of Asia on holidays. Understandably therefore the dry S+P market is not exactly bubbling with bullish buyers and the limited number of second hand bulker sales reported last week were dominated by 80's built handy and handymaxes. There was also a flourish of buying in the container sector with Greeks leading the way. When it comes to more modern tonnage it would appear that buyers are less comfortable with the prices being asked so instead we are still seeing a few more newbuildings being booked, we assume because buyers feel at such levels they would rather have the benefit of all the years trading a new vessel brings. The tanker market remains in a state of flux with just two secondhand deals to report last week. The demolition sector has also gone very quiet due to a combination of good freight rates for trading ships which in turn is causing few new candidates being offered whilst Bangladesh is still showing no definite signs of re-opening.
